[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t get the vitriol about DEI.

Overwhelmingly, DEI has led to race/ethnic admissions in proportion to the general population. It’s not like Harvard is admitting a class 100% of black and Hispanics.

And while some/most DEI admits may not have the highest test scores or accomplishments of the entire application pool, they are the elite of their demographic.

If our country is ever to put race/ethnic problems “behind us,”[b] there needs to be opportunity and future role models for these groups. It is progressive - in a good way - for our society to think about inclusivity because that eventually creates a more shared basis for democracy and civility[/b]. On the other hand, allowing one portion of the population to hoard all the opportunities is not a recipe for shared prosperity.

To make an analogy, the more people who participate in the stock market, the more people who support capitalism. But when only some people grow rich through the market, the have nots grow resentful. And, MAGA shows us what happens when people become resentful. [/quote]
